So I'm going to try something that's been rattling around in my head for a few days. It will feature events that have happened and some that may happen, so there may be SPOILERS, but this will have my own take on things.

Of course I'm going to hurt Ethan (coz that's what I do!) but it won't be major hurt but hopefully Cal will be there to help him! I can't keep them apart for to long.

I don't own anyone that you recognise, unfortunately.

Ten Thousand Pounds

"Getting beaten up by school kids," Cal sneered after helping his brother to his feet. Ethan huffed out an irritated breath before taking off in search of his young patient, who, it turned out, had mixed the chemicals to try to get his bully expelled, only to cause a major incident that left two people quite poorly. Unfortunately, while he was talking to the troubled young boy, all Ethan could hear was his brother's taunting voice in his head. God, why did his brother have to be so obnoxious when he was hurting. Ethan knew, deep down, that Cal's reverting back to his old ways was down to the drama with Taylor, but why was it always him who had to pay the price?

"Ethan, can I speak to you?" The object of his thoughts appeared in front of him.

"Erm, I'm busy, can't it wait?" Ethan really wasn't in the mood.

"No, actually it can't..." Typical! Of course it couldn't wait. Cal wanted to talk to him so Cal talked to him.

He followed the older man out of the door, "I know where Taylor is," he didn't seem very pleased.

Ethan looked at him as he waited for the rest of it, "She's been arrested...for fraud," Cal was staring at him, daring him to say something.

"Oh," was all Ethan could think of to say.

Cal barged past him, shaking his head, clearly disappointed by his brother's reaction. Ethan was going to leave it and carry on working, but he saw the older man go through the main doors, he decided to follow him. He found him sat on a bench, his head hung low.

"What did you expect me to say Cal? Did you think I would be sorry for her? She stole money from me!"

Cal was shaking his head, a wry smile on his face, "That's all you think about - the money! And you call me selfish!"

Ethan saw red, "Oh no, no, no. You don't get to lay that one on me! For months I have put up with you using my flat as a knocking shop, covering for you when you decided you needed your Taylor fix, listening to you go on and on about this woman, who I know you fell deeply for, but turned out to be a no good con artist!" Ethan was breathing heavily now, adrenaline coursing through his veins.

Cal got to his feet, "Say what you think little brother..." he sneered.

"And another thing - I'm fed up of being your whipping boy. Whenever something goes wrong or you get hurt, you hurt me in the process. I was telling that poor young bullied boy in there that I couldn't remember the name of all my bullies...save one," Ethan stared straight at his older brother, who had the good grace to look horrified, "Now I'm sorry Taylor hurt you, truely I am, but I will not become the target for your hatred any more Cal...I'm done and ... and I want you out of the flat...tonight!"

With that Ethan turned on his heels and stormed back into the ED, leaving a shell shocked Cal in his wake.

The following morning as Ethan arrived for work, he glanced round for any sight of his brother's car. Cal hadn't come home last night, not even to collect his things, which actually gave Ethan, once he had calmed down, a sleepless night. After not finding Cal's car, he slowly entered the building, knocking into someone that he hadn't seen as his thoughts were elsewhere, "Oops, I'm so sorry - my mind was somewhere else," he explained to a lost looking young man, who nodded, "No harm done," he said. Ethan nodded and smiled as he carried on his way, not noticing that the young man that he had just bumped into was watching his every move.

There was still no sign of Cal even as he got changed into his scrubs and now his brotherly feelings were surfacing wondering if he was alright. A couple of minutes later, a weary looking Cal wandered in and began to get changed.

"You look awful - did you manage to find somewhere to sleep?"

"What do you care?" Cal snapped back, true to form.

"Cal...I..." Ethan tried but Cal slammed his locker door shut and left the staff room. Ethan sighed deeply. Half of him was glad that he had stood up to his brother, not before time, but the other half hated not having him around. Ethan grabbed a quick drink of water, then disappeared into the organised chaos of the ED.

They had been treating patients for a good hour, when there was a small lull in proceedings. Ethan caught Cal, "Did you go to see Taylor?"

Immediately, Cal's eyes filled, "Yes I managed to see her."

"Did she give you a reasonable explanation for everything?" Ethan was hopeful.

A renegade tear dripped down his face, "It turns out that she owed some people some money, and they wanted it back! She had been trying to get it together for the last six months or more..."

"God, how much did she owe?" Ethan looked shocked.

"I don't know exactly, but enough." Cal turned away from the younger man and walked through the door, without a backwards glance.

Ethan quickly followed him, catching his arm just before he could hide himself away in a room, "What did she say Cal?"

A sad smile appeared, "She asked if I might be able to get her some more money, £10,000 to be exact to pay them off - then she would be free of them."

Ethan could not believe what he was hearing, "Cal..."

"Oh don't worry I haven't given her any or promised her any. I can see now what she is...she was just using me. I just really liked her Ethan..."

"I know you did, and I'm sorry..."

The young doctor never got to finish his sentence because all of a sudden their world became a mass of noise, broken glass and confusion. The two men threw themselves to the floor as they saw the huge glass window explode. Cal tried to shield Ethan as best he could, with being the bigger man.

It ended almost as quickly as it had begun. The two brothers, breathing heavily, looked at each other, but before they could say anything the double doors opened and in sprinted Zoe, Tess, Charlie, Lofty and Robyn, "Are you both ok?" Zoe gasped as she saw the damage.

Cal and Ethan gingerly got to their feet, "Yes, think so," the older man replied.

"Let's get you both checked over, " Charlie insisted, "Looks like you've both got some nasty cuts and there may be glass in them too."

Cal nodded, but then became aware that he hadn't heard a word from his brother. Ethan was on his feet, staring blankly at the car, but he was swaying slightly. Cal gently took hold of Ethan's arm, "Ethan, Ethan, are you alright?"

Ethan looked like he was in a world of his own, "Flashback?" Robyn offered, "From the crash - maybe the noise or something triggered a flashback."

Zoe walked up to the younger man, "Ethan, it's Zoe. You're ok. You're in the ED. Will you come with me so that I can take a look at you?" She gently shook Ethan's arm.

"Jeff," they heard the gasp coming from the younger man, who then promptly collapsed in a heap.

"Ethan!" Cal yelled as he dropped, uncomfortably to his knees, desperate to check on his brother.

Charlie laid a hand on his shoulder, "Let us get him looked at - and you...give them some room to work Cal."

Cal slowly got to his feet as a trolly was brought in. Ethan was gently laid out on it, already showing signs of regaining consciousness, to which Cal was relieved to see.

As the team bustled into the main part of the ED, to get Ethan the help he needed, no-one noticed a young man smiling dangerously as he watched what was happening - secretly taking pictures with his phone, then disappearing out of the door.

So that's chapter 1. Not sure how many they'll be and I don't suppose I'll have them all up by before next episode, but I will try my best. Hope it was ok.
